It looks like a failure of the landing gear down lock to me

Sometimes, a problem really has a simple cause. It looks like the left main gear didn't lock in place when it was extended. There are several possible reasons for why this happened, and none of them are likely related to vibrations during the flight. Knowing Rutan's reputation, he'll examine the plane closely, fix the problem, and be flying again within a few weeks.
